I think what were seeing now is about as close to a Storm Alert were going to get. In fact, I believe it will be like it was pre 2005 when they went into Storm Alert (called "Alert Mode" back then) and I wouldn't be surprised if we see limited to no local forecasts shown similar to what they do during severe weather events this year so they can extend their live programming once Irene makes the first landfall in NC. We'll probably be seeing the LF squeeze back occasionally on air.

i hope they don't go that far, because i want to be able to record LF's from saturday night until monday.

As i predicted earlier in the Thread SE Mass will suffer catastrophic damage from Irene. (there is too much emphasis on NC which will probably only see Heavy Rain from Irene)
